In Beetles of the World, Maxwell Barclay and Patrice Bouchard--two of the world's foremost beetle experts--celebrate these remarkable creatures in all their variety, from their size and appearance to their ecological importance. Providing concise accounts of all the major families and subfamilies of Coleoptera, Beetles of the World explores beetle anatomy, life cycle, fossil history, feeding habits, role in the food web, habitats, relationship with humans, and classification--as well as the essential part that beetles play in the global ecosystem, and the ways humans can help protect them"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 230) and index. 650 0 $a Beetles $v Identification. 650 0 $a Beetles $v Classification. 700 1 $a Bouchard, Patrice, $d 1973- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045310.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EAB338ACA3D11EEB6B0F94039ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
